This bagseed came from weed that I got about 10 years ago from a grower in western Massachusetts vie a Deadhead friend. I''m pretty sure it''s a chemdog or chem derivative, because of the leaf structure during growing (see Week 3) and because of the diesely chem funk and copious resin production. It was a pretty stable S1 whatever it was because the phenos were all fairly similar in terms of leaf and bud structure, odor and effect. I gifted a plant to a friend and it turned out to be straight-up old-school diesel in odor and effect. T
I got 98 grams of trim that I used to make bubble hash. It was delicious and potent.
The smoke is good but needs a decent cure, and the effect is relaxing and happy but sleepiness will eventually bring you down if you smoke it throughout the day, like most weed I guess.
I hit some of the smaller buds of Bagseed #1 with pollen from a vigorous Pure Power Plant male and got about 150 nice F1 beans. I shall call the cross Chem Powerplant. :)
A unique characteristic of this plant, and something I''ve read is a trait of chem strains, is the propeller-twisted set of first leaves on the seedling. I took #1 at 8.5 weeks from 12/12, #2 was chopped at 9.5 weeks, and #3 was the late finisher at 10 weeks. The #1 plant yielded more than #3 which yielded more #2. I think they would have all grown to near the same size but the #2 and #3 plants shared their DWC reservoirs with two other plants (see week3-4 pics) which tangled up the root masses which ultimately limited the size of the root ball. Bagseed #1 had her DWC bucket all to herself so she developed a larger root ball and got attribute the size first plant was taken 00
@OldCoolSativa, I am by no means a pro, but I usually start lst week 3,4, maybe 5, so by flower stretch her branching is already moved and stable in the new way I have it growing. I would say just get in there!! You never know till you do, but it's a lot harder when she starts getting woody. Stresses em more I think. Your gonna love it!!
@HydroKitty, I've already done a little defol but should probably do some more this week. The internode spacing is small enough that I don't think I need much LST yet. But since I've never done LST before, I could be wrong. π Thanks for stopping by.
Ideal day temp is 25C and the bigger they get the less humidity they like - the difference between the day and night temperatures will affect the distance between the nodes - all look nice and green π
Nice grow Bro. Regarding ur week 5 update, I bought my whole setup from kingbriteled, you shouldn't have any problem with them. If you use 2 different fixture for veg and flo why didn't u choose 4000k and 2700k? Just curious.I stopped at cobs' basics but will research some info about adding 730nm diodes, maybe I'll add some for the next grow. Keep us update man!
@Nutria, I just looked on Ebay for 730nm and found a USA seller. Specs are 3W 20mm Star LED, 720-730nm, 1.5V - 1.7V, 600 mA - 700 mA, 40 LM, 120 degree viewing angle. I'm going to run them in a single 3-ft strip in the middle of my tent between my two lights. I plan to turn them on 5 minutes before lights out and turn them off 15 minutes after lights out. This should allow me to use more light during the flower cycle. I plan to go 600W 12/12 for the first week of flower or until the girls reveal themselves. Then I'll ramp up to 13.5/10.5 for most of the flowering period, then back it down to 12/12 for the last week or two to finish them off.
@@Kkkkkk, thanks for the heads up. I have a couple circulation fans in there and all the plants leaves move around in the breeze a bit so I think ventilation is OK for now.
I have a similar problem. I am on week 6. A bit slow for sure in the beginning. Temps are usually above 26 and up to 32 someone time. But my plants are stubby and wide. But since this is my first grow, I thought maybe it has to do with the strain? Can someone with experience check out my grow? thanks man.
Your guy is right.
The temp is way to low!
You need constant 25 grad celsius.
And your air humandity was to low, thats why you leafs looking squishy.
But at all it looks very good.
Wish you much luck and awaiting interessted what you get out. ;)
Keep on. ;)
@KonopCh, I found them in bags of weed from a Deadhead friend, reportedly grown in Western Massachusetts. They germinated easily...hardly any duds. I germinated them in Rapid Rooters.
@BigDaddyK, good question. It has been pretty high, like upwards of 80% at the end of the day. Condensation on tent walls, etc. Today I finally set up a blower and charcoal filter and humidity is down around 60%. Running a dehumidifer in the basement to help keep things under control.
hey man nice grow. i tried a bagseed in my grow, it's in my current journal. it was a herm :(glad you got away with it. this is twice i had bag seed herms so be careful using bagseed in with real genetics. i don't think my other girls were effected and i got some wax off the 4-5week old herm so not the end of the world. nice job though keep growin'
